Re: Maramu mainsail furling issues
I do remember that you identified that now, Olivier, thanks for the reminder. This old girl has so many needs that I'd forgotten that one! I'll try your suggestions and report back.

That is so cool! I know all of those guys and all are now retired except one. Real time warp for me and thanks for the memories. I believe I have a photo of your boat in the ‘test pool’ as that

Re: Deck restoration question
Thanks John. I'm wondering if weathering of the faux timber deck on Pegasus is a rare occurrence given the limited response to my question?
